Oh, they are lovely together! You're going to have to post pics of the babies as soon as they're born!

Oh jeez, of course I always post pics of all my snakes and litters born.

Let's get past the introductions (first date) and get an actual mating, oh and then there's the gestation period and then, fingers crossed, live babies at some point.

I hear you. The outward appearance of the genetic makeup of these two are awesome. And they even come from the same "Neighborhood", meaning they were found with 1 mile of each other. I do hope she will change her attitude toward him after a good brumating (hibernation) period.

Right now, she seems as repulsed by him as he is attracted to her. Basically a "geek" trying to get a date with the prom queen at this point. She literally flung him off of her (kicked him in the nuts) at one point and fled to hide. I don't think she's impressed at all but she did just give birth about 2 months ago. At the same time, I've never seen a male snake put so much effort and put so many moves on a girl. I mean, he's flamin' hot for her.

For now I'll keep them separated. Both will get a major cool-down and shortened days, then I'll try again. If I don't get a lock, then they both go in the fridge for few months (50 degrees) and I'll try again in the spring. If nothing else, I got nice male orange stripe and I'll try and see if she likes him.

Wow, that looks like a dream match right there, I sure hope it proves out for you!
